PS3 PIRATING DISCUSSION

**Doombear** · 2011-01-18 15:36

It is Armageddon!

It looks like the first genuine fallout of the now-infamous PS3 root key release has bubbled up, as reports are circulating that a new homebrew app allows cheaters to instantly unlock all the Trophies in a PS3 game, and even sync the illbegotten Trophies through the PlayStation Network so they show up on their Trophy lists. The app, called PS3 Unlocker, of course only works on "jailbroken" consoles. According to CVG, one user on an unnamed (for obvious reasons) hacking forum claimed to have used the app, writing, "Just tried it with BUZZ Quiz TV (EU) original disc -- Played a round of the game then quit, trophy's now show as 100% I have 70% previously." Evidently it doesn't work with all games, though, as Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition and Batman: Arkham Asylum for some reason reportedly resisted the hack.

Sony issued a statement to CVG when asked about this application, although it is word-for-word the same prepared statement they released after the PS3's root key was published online: "We are aware of this, and are currently looking into it. We will fix the issues through network updates, but because this is a security issue, we are not able to provide you with any more details.

ah good, this will save me a lot of time while still extending my e-peen.

I don't see the point of hacking trophies, that's stupid. Achievements are just random stuff that are fun to collect, and in the end you can show them off. What's the point of just hacking them all? :/

Yea.... its a sure fire way to say "HEY SONY LOOK AT ME! LOOKED AT MY JAILBROKEN PS3! HAHAHAHA JAILBREAKERS WIN! Wait.... what does this mean.... banned from PSN? WHAT? WHY!"

Anyways, really really not hoping on that new CFW anytime soon. Looks like its even more prone to brick original PS3 consoles, and thats what I have. So screw that!

**Ragnell** · 2011-01-18 19:22

Honestly if the unlocker only unlocked the achievements you want then I can put alot of games to rest, like the first uncharted and part 2

**Shenrien** · 2011-01-18 19:29

There should be some anti-online achievement/trophies thing that is placed to cock block all the retarded developers that think its a good idea and will lure players to play the game on line WHEN THEY MOST LIKELY FUCKING WILL ANYWAY

Sweeeet, gonna go try this

**Kiarax** · 2011-01-20 18:09

I love how they point out the lack of bricks in that CFW when it only came out today. I'm in no rush to try this shit, people thought Wakinkoko's didn't brick too but that turned out to be wrong.

**Doombear** · 2011-01-20 18:11

I have seen a few 'fixes' for the the bricks out there... which would mean they aren't full bricks at least. No matter what, the chances of me trying any of these methods is pretty slim. Doesn't mean it is anything less than fascinating to me though!

**Ragnell** · 2011-01-20 20:29

I forgot to eve install it because my gf pestered me to download music she wanted since christmas

**xopher** · 2011-01-20 20:30

Been using kmeaw since yesterday and I'm on a 60GB fat.

No issues.

**Julian** · 2011-01-20 20:32

I'm personally just glad to see progress, wont be installing anything for a while, because I'm not really in a dire need or anything anyway.

**Kiarax** · 2011-01-20 20:41

The one thing that tempts me to do this is Vesperia but... if I really want to play it that bad I can just play the 360 version to hold myself off until someone translates the PS3 one, lol.

**Tyche** · 2011-01-20 21:57

I'm trying to figure out how to do this whole CFW shit. In a nutshell, I can just load up the CFW (Kmeaw for instance), load up a backup manager, and play backups without the use of a jailbreak dongle?

Can you run backups via FTP or media server?

**lathia** · 2011-01-20 22:07

In essence, yes, that's all you have to do and no dongle is needed.

Speaking of Vesperia:

Who knows how long it will be but it's good to hear.

**Kiarax** · 2011-01-20 22:13

Yeah they added a page to their site at the start of the month
http://talesofgraces.com/vesperia/
Gonna be a while before it gets anywhere though, hopefully they'll get cracking on it quickly.

**Freeko** · 2011-01-21 01:39

Backups now can be from USB HDD or Internal ( Some games have to be internal or they won't work). Be on Official 3.55 FW then install the CFW you want. Kmeaw 3.55CFW seems ok so far. Don't use Waninkoko's. You can use Rogeros Backup Manager or Multiman.

**Ragnell** · 2011-01-21 17:14

Rogero's is giving me a error when I try to install, which one are you using?

**Ragnell** · 2011-01-21 17:49

never mind I see there is a enw one released and it works, just need to know how to place the games in the folder
